The nomination and voting process is public, the best 16 will be narrowed down to 8, then 4 and so forth. This year, Jonathan Duhamel has been also nominated, and if he gets more votes than Tesse Virtue and Scott Moir, he can easily be the Athlete of the Year. Of course he will have to outlast Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Penguins hockey player) or Ashleigh McIvor (freestyle skier) first.
It seems poker is becoming more and more accepted as a sport, and its achievements worthy to be compared to Olympic results.
If you feel like voting for Duhamel (or any other nominee) you can do so at sportsnet.ca
